[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 3066667, member: 84442"] Bolt guns can handle the 60K+ pressures that would beat up a gas gun. I have built both 223 Rem and 224 Valkyrie bolt guns that are throated long enough for the high BC bullets(I shoot 88ELDMs in both) to be seated with the boat tail heel right at the junction of the case neck. Bolt guns aren't hindered by the same magazine length restrictions(2.260") that gas guns are. A long throated bolt gun allows longer OAL, which increases powder capacity and velocity potential as well as running higher chamber pressures than you will see listed for standard 223 and 224 data. The 6ARC is more of a crossover cartridge so Hornady made data available for gas and bolt guns. [/QUOTE]
